Variety: Pecorino
Colour: White
Production Area: Ortona, Abruzzo
Vineyards: Pecorino is a fairly rare variety, with only about 300 hectares planted in the Abruzzo and Le Marche regions. Its name derives from the fact that a bunch of Pecorino grapes was traditionally considered to have a similar shape to a sheep’s head. The vineyards are situated around the town of Ortona, on the Adriatic coast of the Abruzzo region. Facing west and south-west, vines are planted on calcareous clay soils of a medium texture and trained on a pergola system.
Vinification: crushing and stalk stripping, pressing and cooling are carried out in a few seconds down to -1°C in an inert atmosphere.
